Selecting an element in the DOM explorer highlights the wrong element on the page.

Selecting a context menu link element in the DOM explorer highlights the wrong element on the page, subsequently an action created against these context menu links produces an action/element in the Elements Explorer on the incorrect element.

This problem is caused by part of the HTML of the page, which IE fails to parse for some reason:

<OBJECT id=FlashID 
                  classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000 width=310 
                  height=60><PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="/globe.swf"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"><PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="opaque"><PARAM NAME="swfversion" VALUE="9.0.45.0"><PARAM NAME="expressinstall" VALUE="/Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
                                                                            <!-- 
                  This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and 
                  higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete 
                  it if you donâ??t want users to see the prompt. -->            
                              <!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So 
                  hide it from IE using IECC. -->            <!--[if !IE]>-->    
                          <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
                  data="/globe.swf" width="310" height="60">              
                  <!--<![endif]-->                                               
                                         <!-- The browser displays the following 
                  alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. 
                  -->              <div>                <h4>Content on this page 
                  requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>           
                       <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img 
                  src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" 
                  alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" 
                  /></a></p>              </div>              <!--[if !IE]>-->   
                           </object>            <!--<![endif]-->        <!--[if !IE]>-->
            <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/globe.swf" width="310" height="60">
              <!--<![endif]--><!--[if !IE]>-->
            </object>
            <!--<![endif]--></OBJECT>
In result Test Studio uses a different (correct) DOM tree compared to the one parsed by the IE browser which is causing the discrepencies when recording. If this HTML is removed, IE behaves correctly.
